recoveryfs/upgrade/fs.tgz size               	116.4 MB	78.1 MB
recoveryfs/upgrade/fs.tgz/usr/local/Kobo/revinfo 42598         	43939
That all makes sense. The image I sent you, which I got from someone here has 2.1.2 as the factory firmware. That is build r42598. The image was probably taken immediately after doing a factory reset. Or it was taken before the device was first turned on. Because of that, the rootfs partition will have the same firmware levels as the recoveryfs partition.

Your Glo came with build r43939 on the recovery partition. From my notes for the betas, this is probably 2.1.4, but it might be 2.1.3. On the rootfs, you have firmware 2.4.0 which has the new style build number. The device information displays the first 10 characters of this.

The sizes for both files match with what I have for the beta versions. A quick check and the main difference seems to be the dictionaries. These were included in 2.1.2, but not in 2.1.4. From 2.1.4, they are were downloaded separately.

I will be very interested in your test results. I know I mentioned it to you, but I don't think I said it in the forums. Or if I did, I can't find the post. I am wondering if the firmware upgrades have not replaced a file. And the factory firmware you had has a bug that the earlier versions didn't. If your Glo has good sleep battery life with this image, then that will support this theory.
